What!? How the hell could the championship be a loss? It cost twice and much and the F16 Nationals (and the food was off the freaking chain BTW) and you guys had Rolex money and 2k from HJ.
Oh wait, I know how it lost money... nevermind.
F16 Nationals - 29 boats * $150 = $4350 (3 days of racing) US Sailing MC - 6 boats * $325 = $1950 (4 days of racing)
Major Hobie events have ~ $600 to $800 of overhead per day (those are fixed costs, no matter how many boats show up)
That's why the event lost money - and no other reason.Because people didn't show up.
Mike already said the HJ $ was spent on Robbie's clinic.
